The tavern was empty tonight.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwq23Ykgiu
And I felt full.
Not with sorrow.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nadnfpgdo
Not with joy.
Just… full of something that wanted to speak, but had no mouth.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhc3ie4xgD
So I brewed nothing. I sat. I wrote.
And the words came without names:
I love,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4iz9bJDit
I Love,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKFvvgBdJw
I love,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ6mMHFCLU
I love…82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgKZz9RrYx
I love,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF0QnH4RZW
I love…82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjAhXN5lzh
I love.
No guest. No face. No story walked through the door.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiyeaLAJES
But each time I wrote it, I saw someone.
A stranger who once sang to the spoons.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFpKI8wXuW
A woman who left a single feather behind.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTZuX551D0
A boy who never spoke, but always listened.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvskfYFssme
A hand that trembled. A voice that cracked.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiWeYOLAvt
A gaze that held too much past.
They’re all here. In these words.
Not as memories.
As warmth.
The fire watched me write the last one,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK60A88Fm6r
and it did not flicker.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3nqzrzGsi
It bowed.
If no one walks in tomorrow, that will be fine.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMzfPnA5PJ
The tavern is already full.
And so am I.
